Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Labour states that residents can easily transfer jobs from one employer to another using the Employer Change Service available on its website. 

"This service is available to resident workers in the State of Qatar and operates in accordance with established procedures," the Ministry stated on its social media platforms, as it listed the application process and eligibility criteria. 

Verify eligibility before applying

Employees should verify their eligibility before applying to ensure that no ban is imposed on either the worker or the establishment. They should also check that the new employer's registration is active and valid. 

The worker should ensure that their mobile phone number is registered in their name and that there is no other employer change request under review.
